Hoop storage. For my MC 11000SE I had hanging pockets which kept all my hoops safe and to hand. The hoops for my MC 15000 are far two unwieldy to do that so I had to think of a new idea. Mike made me a strong wooden frame on a thick base and cut thin sheets of hardboard to cover the sides. I made snug fitting covers (just bags really) for each side piece. (The picture shows them before I stitch the bottoms up.)

Next, I stitched the panels together, from the inside for the first three but from the outside for the last one.
Fancy upholstery nails hold the outside to the frame.
I overestimated the size I would need, but the extra width accommodates small rolls of fusible and ws stabiliser.

Excellent Sue and very smart. Did you give the hanging hoop storage to your sister when she collected her 'new' machine?

Yes I did and no it isn't. I think the celtic knot came from Kreative Kiwi.

Sue, I have a Pfaff and the large hoops it uses. I was told that you should ALWAYS store them flat so that they won't warp. Considering the sizes do be careful of temperature extremes that could cause problems. I love your input into this site. Be blessed.

Thanks - I've always kept them vertical and hadn't heard that before. Temperature extremes aren't a big problem here.

Excellent! I have used this frame technique for a few things, my son's train table when he was small and the kitties perch.
